Little Bear quotes from Little Bear

Stop fooling! You're my Mother Bear, and I'm your Little Bear, and we're on Earth, and you know it.

[singing to the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star"] Little clouds up in the sky, gather 'round, don't pass us by. You can give us nice, cool rain, to make the corn plants grow again!

The footstool is for feet, not flying.

Come all ye young sailors, and listen to me, I'll sing you a song of the fish in the sea!

When I was sick, and lay abed, I had two pillows at my head, and all my days beside me lay to keep me happy all the day.

The sun is sleeping, the clouds are creeping, the wind is calling, the sky is falling, the sky is falling!

And you know what else?

What?

I'm not even cold.

It's birthday soup.

Cat

Is it chicken soup? [Hen clucks in shock] I like chicken soup.

No.

Cat

Is it duck soup? [Duck quacks in shock] Duck soup will do.

No. It's just birthday soup.

Who am I?

Owl

You're a polar bear.

A polar bear? Don't you know me, Owl?

Owl

I don't know any polar bears.

Owl

What is it?

A trout?

Owl

Well, that's not a trout. Maybe it's a flounder. [catches another fish]

What did you catch?

Owl

Looks like a halibut to me.

What's a halibut?

Owl

My favorite kind.

Owl

It's a whale.

Hello, whale.

Owl

It doesn't look too friendly.

Owl

[panics] THROW IT BACK! OH, NOOOOO...!

Hello, Little Bear.

Hello.

What's that in your mouth?

A thermometer. I have the "frew".

The "frew"? How terrible!

Cat

What's the matter with you?

I have the flu.

Cat

Oh, that's too bad. You should roll in some catnip. That always makes me feel better.

I don't think so.

Cat

It was a good idea.

Owl

Some idea.

Hen

Well, Owl, your idea didn't work too well.

Owl

Cat's idea didn't help either.

Cat

Excuse me, but I read about that technique in a very famous book.

Owl

What book? [Father Bear looks down from his newspaper, annoyed] I've read every book in the library.

Cat

Oh, please. You think you know everything.

Duck

I can read!

Enough! How can I read with all this noise?

They're called maracas.

Duck

Oh, how wonderful!

Father Bear found them across the ocean, a long time ago.

Duck

[amazed] Oh!

A long, long time. Even before we were born.

Duck

Before we were born?

Way back, when there were pirates.

Duck

Pirates? Really? Oh, my!

Mother Bear said they were sentimental, and you know what that means.

Duck

I do?

Duck

No, I don't.

[beat] Treasure.

Hen

[clucks with surprise] Pirates? Oh, no! Are you sure?

Duck

Yes, I'm sure! That's what Little Bear said! He said they were pirates! They came from Morocco! They were sandy and mental.

Hen

Sandy and mental? The pirates?

Duck

Yes, yes, the pirates! And Father Bear took their treasure. The pirates stole it and Father Bear stole it back!

Owl

Father Bear stole them from pirates?!

Hen

What else could he do?

Owl

Did he use a sword or a saber?

Hen

Sword or a saber? Sword or a saber? How would I know?

Owl

Maybe both?

Hen

Both? Both! Must've been both. Of course! Both! But I bet those pirates are mad.

Owl

Uh-oh...

Cat

A sword and a saber? How many pirates did Father Bear fight?

Owl

A dozen, at least.

Cat

[unimpressed] A dozen?

Owl

Maybe a hundred.

Owl

But Father Bear won. He won the treasure. Those pirates are bound to come back.

Cat

Do you really think so?

Owl

Oh, yes! They were mad!

Cat

What should we do?
